2.14 Deputy A.E. Pryke of Trinity of the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture regarding consultation over the installation of condom machines in secondary schools:
Would the Minister inform Members whether he was consulted by the Minister for Health and Social Services regarding the possibility of installing condom machines in secondary schools before the report appeared in the local media?
Senator M.E. Vibert (The Minister for Education, Sport and Culture):
Yes, the Minister for Health and Social Services contacted me by email prior to the report appearing in the local media.
2.14.1 The Deputy of Trinity :
Would the Minister guarantee that he will consult with all appropriate people - parents, young people, schools, as well as other agencies like Brook - before he is thinking of putting condom machines in the schools?
Senator M.E. Vibert :
Yes, Sir, and in fact in my reply to the Minister for Health I made some points; the main point being that we would have to engage in consultation and we needed a holistic policy to deal with the issue, and that it would have to be widely consulted upon and not done as an individual proposal.
